Spring in Charlotte is one of those seasons that keeps you on your toes—one day it’s sunny and warm, the next you’re reaching for an umbrella. But overall, this week’s forecast is shaping up to be a beautiful mix of mild temperatures, a few clouds, and just a touch of rain. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming week in the Queen City.
Wednesday, April 9: Sunny and Comfortable
Today is a gem! With sunny skies and temperatures hitting a pleasant 64°F (18°C), it’s the perfect day to get outside. The low tonight will dip to 45°F (7°C), so while you’ll want to enjoy the sunshine this afternoon, it’s a good idea to bring a light jacket if you’re headed out in the evening.
Whether you’re planning a walk around Freedom Park, a coffee stop in Uptown, or just taking in the city’s spring charm, today’s weather is ideal. It’s one of those days where you feel like you can do it all—so don’t let it pass you by!
Thursday, April 10: Cloudy with a Chance of Calm
Thursday brings a bit of a shift. The sun will be hidden behind clouds for much of the day, but temperatures will still climb to a comfortable 69°F (20°C). The low will stay mild at 52°F (11°C), so it’ll be a great day for a leisurely afternoon out and about. Just keep in mind that the cloud cover might make things feel a little cooler than usual.
It’s the kind of day where you can enjoy an outdoor lunch or take a stroll, but it’s also a good excuse to pop into one of Charlotte’s cozy indoor spots if the weather isn’t exactly your ideal sunshine.
Friday, April 11: Light Showers in the Forecast
Friday might bring a bit of rain. Expect light showers to pass through the area, though nothing too heavy or prolonged. Temperatures will hover around 64°F (18°C) during the day, and it’ll cool down to 46°F (8°C) at night. So, if you’ve got plans, keep an umbrella or rain jacket handy just in case.
Whether you’re heading to an indoor event or taking the opportunity to explore some of Charlotte’s great museums like the NASCAR Hall of Fame, a little rain won’t stop the fun. The showers will be scattered, so don’t cancel your plans—it’s just nature’s way of adding a little variety to your day.
Saturday, April 12: Cooler and Cloudy
Saturday will be a bit cooler. With highs only reaching about 61°F (16°C) and lows dipping to 44°F (6°C), it’s one of those days where you’ll want to layer up. The day will start off with some sunshine, but clouds will gradually take over, leaving behind a more subdued atmosphere.
It’s still a great day for a quiet coffee at The 7th Street Public Market or a visit to Bechtler Museum of Modern Art. Just be sure to grab a jacket before heading out—especially as the temperatures drop in the evening.
Sunday, April 13: Sunny and Beautiful
Sunday is looking like the best day of the week. We’re talking 69°F (20°C) and mostly sunny skies, making it the perfect opportunity to spend the day outdoors. The low will be around 45°F (7°C), so you’ll be comfortable whether you’re enjoying brunch on a patio or heading to one of Charlotte’s many outdoor spaces.
Consider a visit to McAlpine Creek Park, where the sun will shine, the birds will chirp, and you’ll be able to enjoy the beauty of spring at its best. It’s a day that feels made for adventure, so make the most of it!
Monday, April 14: A Warm-Up Coming
Monday will bring more sunshine and higher temperatures. Expect highs around 77°F (25°C) with lows staying at a comfortable 56°F (13°C). The warmth will have you feeling like summer is just around the corner, so it’s a perfect day to get outside. Whether you’re catching a baseball game at BB&T Ballpark or enjoying the vibe in NoDa, it’ll be a day to remember.
With temperatures pushing into the 70s, you might want to think about staying hydrated if you’re spending the day outdoors.
